LONDON – At the post office with the dead man to collect (his) pension. The incredible story, according to local media and even the police report, took place in Ireland, in County Carlow, over 60 kilometers south of Dublin. Shocked present and employees of the grocery store with a post office inside, where the corpse of the 66-year-old was found, abandoned by the two people who had transported him there to claim his pension.
The absurd episode recalls the famous film “Weekend with the dead”, even if it happened last Friday around 11.30 in the morning. When a young man walks into the post office and asks to collect the pension of a friend, that Peader Doyle. But the employee points out that the presence of the person for whom it is intended is necessary. And so, immediately afterwards, the same man, still unidentified, shows up at the doors, supporting, together with another unknown person who has come, another man on both sides.
The scene is surreal. As he wrote theIrish Times, the man supported not only obviously cannot stand up, but has a sweater covering his face and a hat. Then an office employee, suspicious of the scene, approaches to ask if he is feeling well and it is at that moment that the two people holding him run away and leave poor Peader Doyle on the ground on the floor, upsetting the onlookers.
According to the first results of the autopsy, the man appears to have died “shortly before” the incredible scene that took place in Carlow’s shop. Which, for now, would rule out a criminal motive. The poor man may have gotten sick right outside the post office or just before. But certainly no one would have expected what happened shortly after.
